Commonwealth Theatre is presenting The Ugly Duckling in all six JCPS elementary schools in District Four. This musical's reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic begins with a comical egg-hatching ballet and ends with an empowering message of belonging. In between, our protagonist is rejected from a family of ducks for being “different” and sets off seeking a place to feel at home. A fresh score that incorporates rap and live sound mixing, this version stays true to the lesson that every creature is entitled to acceptance & love – though they sometimes spring from unlikely places.

State Representative Reginald Meeks read a special proclamation and Louisville observed Indigenous People's Day at Fourth Street Live this week. The family event featured live Native American performances.

 |
 |
|
Indigenous Peoples’ Day recognizes that Native people are the first inhabitants of the Americas, including the lands that later became the United States of America. And it urges Americans to rethink history. |
 Louisville Downtown Partnership, Louisville Public Media, Mercury Ballroom and PARC worked to re-imagine a forgotten public space. The new, bright blue ground will attract people to the alley between Louisville Public Media and the Mercury Ballroom on South 4th Street, about a block from Fourth Street Live! Bright tables and chairs in the public space have been added where people can enjoy lunch and take a stroll through our Alley Gallery.

 See Something Say Something!!!!
We all know that
illegal dumping--putting waste on property that is not licensed as a disposal
facility--is an eyesore that is expensive to clean up, diminishes quality of
life, discourages economic development and even sends plastic debris into our
waterways.
That's why people caught dumping along our
city's alleys, sidewalks, fields and roadsides are subject to fines and
impoundment of any vehicle used in the dumping. That's where citizens can help
with the problem. If you witness illegal dumping while it's happening, report
it.
We've developed a new online form you can use to tell us where
it happened, describe the vehicle(s) involved, preferably with license plate
number(s), and even upload pictures. Of course you can always call
Metro Call 311 or 574-5000. For more information about illegal dumping,
including a link to the reporting form, visit our illegal dumping webpage.

 Registration
for the Brightside & Passport Health Plan Community-Wide
Cleanup is now open!
The
cleanup will take place on Saturday, October 20th with suggested times of
8:00am until 12:00pm. No worries if this specific day does not work for your
group. We will support any cleanup that happens within the weeks surrounding
October 20th.
All
cleanup teams will receive bags and gloves at no cost and the first 5,000
volunteers will receive a free t-shirt. Brightside welcomes groups of all
sizes, big and small. If you are unsure about where you would like to clean,
please call or email and we will be happy to offer a suggestion.
Supply
pickup will be held on Sunday, October 7th in the Community Room at the
Iroquois Park Amphitheater, 1080 Amphitheater Rd, 40214 from 2:00pm until
5:00pm.
All
supplies are pre-packed by group for team leaders to collect. If a group fails
to pick up their supplies on October 7th and they have t-shirts, the t-shirts
go to other teams on a first come, first served basis. Groups who do not have
t-shirts can call Brightside on Tuesday, October 9th to see if any t-shirts
have been returned.
Cleanups
are an integral part of Brightside's mission and without the help of your
volunteer group, and many other volunteers throughout the year, we could not
achieve our goals of a cleaner, greener and more sustainable Louisville.
We
look forward to seeing all of you this fall!
